TnE Philippine Islands are be
coming the grave-yard not only for
many young Americans, but for
the American reputation for honor,
"Benevolent assimilation" finds
its later aspect revealed in an echo
of a famous order in our frontier In
diainvnrs: "Kill everything! Nits
make lice!"
TnE average cost of living, ac
cording to carefully computed sta
tistics, has increased 40 per cen'
from 1897 to 1901. It would be
foolish to assert that wages had in
creased in as great proportion.
The only effective way to hit the
trusts is by reducing the tariff
schedules. Taking cases to the
courts after great hardship has been
occasioned is like, locking the barn
door after the horse has been stolen
The library erected by popular
subscription in memory of Mr
4.
Gladstone is nearly completed a
Hawarden, the residence of the
"Grand Old Man," where it over
looks the estuary of the river Dee.
TnE Republican press calls in
cessant attention to the fact that
we are shipping more teachers to
the Philippines, but they as con
sistently fail to record the number
of cases of ammunition that go over
iu the same ships.
If the public wants a solution to
the query as to why the Senate has
lately risen in public estimation as
the sensible part of the national
legislative service, it has only to
look at the narrow-minded leader
ship in the House of Representa
tives that has stultified and belit
tled its deliberative capacity.
Senator Frye told the Senate
that people should not be shocked
at paying money out of the Treas
ury to ship owners. "You do it
for every other industry in the
country. You have been doing it
for years. Subsidy is only another
name for protection." And protec
tion is only another name for sub
sidy. That is what the Democrats
have always maintained.

A ROUT tho worst provision of the
infamous ship subsidy bill is the
bounty to New England fishermen
giving 2 a ton to vessels and 81 a
month addition to wages of crews.
There is no provision for tho equal
ly meritorious fishermen of the
Chesapeake and Carolina coasts
and the whole thing looks like sec
tional favoritism.
The Democratic gubernatorial

DEBATING CONTEST'
Mr. Editor:
The Fioneer Debating Club of Coxbtirg
met the Oakurove Debating Society of
Northford, Decatur County, in joint de
bate at Jeanette last Saturday night.
The subject was "Resolved, that art is
and has been more attractive to the hum
an eye than nature."
T. M. Baugus, George Baker and Joe
Jenkins (of the Oakgroye society) on the
affirmative side and J.F. Odle, M. O. Mor
ris and D. II. Goodman (of the Tioneer
club) on the negative. After Oscar Cum
mings had been elected to the chair and
the judicial committee appointed, the de
bate was opened by Mr. Baugus with a
good speech, and he was followed by J
F. Odle who put the boys on fire. Then
Mr. Jenkins came forth with cood argu
ment, but was ridiculed by Mr. Morris,
whose speech abounded in wit and sar
casm. Mr. Baker came to the floor, but
"had failed to catch anything to note.
D. It. Goodman was met with long and
loud cheers as he presented a well pre
pared address.
Then came the replies, and J. F. Odle
threw fire and brimstone into their air
castle and it fell. The judges rendered
the decision unanimously in favor of the
IMoneer Debating Club.
The house was filled with people who
seemed to enjoy the occasion very much
The two clubs will meet at Sugar Tree
